1 .
Keep away from heat sources (fireplaces, radiant heaters, etc.) that could cause the
operating temperature at or near the device to exceed 40°C (104°F).
2 . The display may be difficult to read under bright lighting conditions (sunlight, interior
lights, etc.), move away from direct light for viewing the display.
3 . Keep away from lint or other loose material that could block the air intake vents.
4 . Some countries restrict this device to be sold by or on an order of a prescribing clini-

cian. Please ensure you comply with relevant local laws.
5 . Non-prescribed oxygen therapy can be hazardous under certain circumstances. Use
this device only when prescribed by a clinician.
6 . Patients with a fast breathing rate requiring a higher oxygen setting may require
more oxygen than this device can produce - see Chapter 15 - Technical Description.
This device may not be appropriate in that case. Consult your clinician for alternative
treatment.
7 . Always operate the device at the setting prescribed by a clinician. Do not alter the
setting unless prescribed by a clinician. Periodic reassessment of the flow settings

clinician for an appropriate backup system.
10 . This device may not reach specified oxygen concentration purity until it has been in
use for up to 2 minutes at set flowrate. Additional warm up time of up to 30 minutes
may be required to reach an optimum oxygen purity level, if the device has been
stored/unused for an extended period or kept in cold temperatures.
11 . This device is designed for use by one patient at a time.
12 . If you are unable to hear or see alarms, do not have normal tactile sensitivity, or can-
not communicate discomfort, consult a clinician before using this device.
13 . If oxygen concentration drops below the specified level, an alarm will indicate this
condition. If alarm persists, stop using this device, switch to an alternate source of
oxygen, and contact your home oxygen provider.
